In case others are looking for a simple way to read in .jpeg files as
ordinary matrices, here is my solution. I am only interested in greyscale
images, so you will have to alter the following if you want colour.
Most .jpegs are colour, so first step is to open the file with ImageMagick
display
for(i in 1:dims[1]) x[i,]-rev(x[i,]) #flip the image vertically
Courtesy of Rolf Turner, here is a much better way to flip vertically:
x - x[,ncol(x):1]
